About Greener Kirkcaldy
Greener Kirkcaldy is a community-led charity working locally to bring people together, take positive action on the climate emergency, and support people through fuel poverty and food insecurity. They deliver a range of projects, events, and skills training to achieve the needs and goals of local people – building resilience as a community and working towards a future where everyone can live better and tread more lightly on our planet.
Based in the heart of Kirkcaldy – with a community building, training kitchen, bike shop, and garden – they carry out activities across Kirkcaldy and work with partners to deliver projects across Fife.
They lead the Cosy Kingdom partnership, a free and impartial energy advice service available to all tenants and homeowners across Fife. They help people save energy, stay warm while spending less on fuel, and develop skills and confidence to take more control of their energy use and bills. Their work plays a vital role supporting people in, or at risk of, fuel poverty and makes an important contribution to tackling carbon emissions and climate change.

- Flexible and hybrid working
- Enhanced maternity, paternity and sick pay
- Wellbeing, training and development opportunities

- Diversity and inclusion
Greener Kirkcaldy want to be an inclusive and diverse charity where everyone feels supported, valued, and able to be themselves. They take part in Fife Centre for Equalities’ Equality Pathfinders programme. They also take part in the Race Equality Environmental Programme facilitated by CEMVO Scotland. Their Equalities Action Plan sets out the steps they are taking to improve diversity and inclusion.
To achieve their vision of Kirkcaldy as a greener and fairer place to live, they need a diverse team. They encourage applications from people of any background.
